"Others?" Master Sun was stunned for a long time, and then realized what "others" meant.

"Oh, it's been a while since no one else came, and I'm just being bored at home, so I'm here to stay. Master Sun finally finished eating the meat buns, and wanted to rub the greasy oil in his hands on his clothes with his backhand, but after looking at the official uniform on his body, which was no longer recognizable, he still took out a handkerchief from his pocket.

"After Lao Jin's great-grandson was born, he didn't come much, Xiao Zhang's son died a few days ago, so he won't come......" Sun Da counted his fingers, and one by one, he felt a little unspeakably melancholy, and sighed.

It's not a lively place, but these days, it's getting more and more deserted.

"By the way, a young man just came a few days ago, it seems to be called Xiaohua, I seem to have seen him yesterday......" Lord Liu took two people into the yard, the yard is also deserted, the cleaning is clean, it is estimated that Lord Sun is idle and bored to clean by himself, but there is really nothing in the yard, and it is a deserted mess.

"Little flower, little flower?" Lord Liu raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Are you here?"

Zi Baifeng listened to him shouting and greeted, a little speechless, why did he sound like a little flower dog?

"Squeak", a door next to it opened, and a musty smell wafted out, and then a young man poked his head out of the door and said confusedly: "Lord Liu, what's the matter?"

"Xiaohua, come here, this is our new Shanshuilang. Lord Liu beckoned, and the action was like calling a little flower dog.

"Shanshui Lang?" The person known as Xiaohua looked at Zi Baifeng suspiciously, and he didn't realize what the three words Shanshui Lang meant for a long time.

"This little flower, the youngest one of us here, is a little stunned. Lord Liu turned his head to Zi Baifeng, seemingly lowering his voice, but in fact, he said in a voice that Xiaohua could hear, and compared with his head as he spoke.

Xiaohua suddenly cried and laughed, I heard it, okay?

But where does Lord Liu care? He has long been afraid of offending people.

"Hello, Lady Hana. Zi Baifeng arched his hand to the young man in front of him, and Lord Hua hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and suddenly remembered the meaning of Shanshuilang.

"Xiaohua, what are you picking up in the storeroom? I can tell you, I have already exchanged all the valuable things in the storehouse for wine, and now you don't want to find anything of value. Master Sun rubbed his chest and said loudly.

Zi Baifeng and Master Hu can only pretend that they haven't heard anything, if they are more serious with this Lord Sun, this can send Lord Sun to prison.

"I ...... I'm just bored, and I want to sort out the landscape map in the warehouse. "Flower is humane.

Zi Baifeng looked at this flower master and smiled slightly.

Others can't see it, but he can see it clearly, there is a faint demonic aura on this flower master.

Unexpectedly, hundreds of thousands of miles away, I actually saw a monster who was an official in the Anthropocene realm as a human being.

"Tidying up?" Master Sun laughed and said, "The oldest landscape maps in the warehouse are hundreds of thousands of years old, if they hadn't been properly maintained, I'm afraid they would have rotted long ago." In a thousand years, everything has changed, so what's the use of sorting it out?"

"That's not, a thousand years of time, there are not so many changes to the mountains and rivers...... this is not an era of drastic changes in the earth's crust, a thousand years of time for human beings, even for monks, is also a very long period of time, but for nature, it is a very small moment, a thousand years of time, if you do not consider human factors, it is just a few times when the rivers are diverted, the mountains and rivers have stood still since ancient times, but there may not be any changes.

Xiaohua's answer is a bit far-fetched, but it is also correct, there is nothing to refute, Lord Sun seems to be very disapproving of Xiaohua's diligence, he yawned and said: "My old man is a little tired, so I won't accompany him more, and I invite the two adults Haihan." He turned his back, hummed a tune, and turned away.

Master Hu looked at his back and smiled bitterly, but fortunately, there was still a flower here, so he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Take us to Shanshuilang's office." ”

He couldn't wait to finish this task as soon as possible and leave this oppressive place.

"Your Excellency, please come with me. After all, Lord Hua is still young, so he is not so lifeless, and he is not so dissatisfied with them, so he turned around and led the way, led them to the door of the main house, and said: "There is only such an office place in Shanshui Courtyard, everyone works here, but I am the only one here on weekdays ......"

He pushed open the door and walked in, and there was a smell of dust on his face, and it could be seen that this flower master basically did not work here.

Fortunately, the furnishings here are still normal, Lord Hu glanced left and right, and arrived in front of a desk in the center, opened the drawer, took out a big seal in a brocade box from it, opened it and confirmed that this was indeed the big seal of Shanshui Lang, straightened his clothes, and handed the big seal to Zi Baifeng with both hands.

Zi Baifeng took it with both hands, which can be regarded as taking over this position and officially becoming Shanshuilang.

"Lord Zi, although it is deserted here, it is also clean, these days, the entire Zaitianfu is afraid that it will not be clean, you stay here, in fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing, the situation will become clear in the future......"

Master Hu suddenly realized that he had said too much, so he hurriedly stopped saying a word and said with a smile: "Then the next official will leave." ”

Zi Baifeng is also a six-rank official, and he is of the same grade as the Shanshui Envoy Sun, and the higher one is just a real power.

But the real power of the Shanshui Temple.

Hehe.

Zi Baifeng sent Master Hu out of the door, and Lord Hu repeatedly asked him to stay, and Zi Baifeng stood at the door.

What Master Hu said is actually right, and now the entire Zaitianfu has been pushed to the cusp of the storm.

Gao Shan'an has been operating in Zaitianfu for ten years, and in the past ten years, the entire Zaitianfu has been operating completely according to his pace and preferences, and now that the sky has suddenly changed, how can the entire Zaitianfu not be turbulent?

And the greater turmoil is actually felt by Master Hu, he is Gao Shan'an's cronies, Gao Shan'an lost power, and he is not happy, just now he really felt it.

But if he has too much sympathy for Zi Baifeng, it is not likely, no matter how he is degraded, it is impossible to come to a place like Shanshui Courtyard.

It won't be long before the new governor of Zaitian Prefecture will arrive, and when the time comes, whether you want to lean on it, or give up on yourself, Lord Hu must think clearly now, and it's time to go back and think about it.

Which is more important, integrity or future?

Maybe Master Hu was still hesitating before, but after he really came to Shanshui Courtyard, he had already thought it through.

Standing at the door of the Shanshui Courtyard, looking at the wall of the opposite alley carrying Tianfu, and Lord Hu who was hurrying towards the Tianfu, Zi Baifeng suddenly had a strange feeling of standing at the cusp of the wind and waves, but hiding in the eye of the wind.

Around him, the wind and clouds are changing, but he is just standing in the center, as if nothing can affect him, and he can't blow the corners of his clothes.

Just like the landscape, the change of thousands of years is just to change the flow of the river, and for the majestic mountains, it is just a blink of an eye.

Whether he wants to be a mountain that stands tall in the sky or a river that changes with the trend depends on his own choice.

"Anyway, this is my place. Zi Baifeng stood at the gate of the Shanshui Courtyard for a while, then looked back at his Shanshui Courtyard, looked at the red paint that had completely peeled off, and some decaying plaques, and then looked at the small courtyard and several tiled houses behind the plaque, Zi Baifeng suddenly felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.

As the largest landlord of Zaitianfu and the richest man in Zaitianfu, after passing the examination of the Great Shangke and obtaining the results of Yayuan, which does not look very good, but it is definitely not bad, the final reward is such a small courtyard, and there is no one who can use it under his hands.

Everyone is squeezing their heads to get fame, but what is this fame?

Fortunately, I still have porcelain tiles.

Zi Baifeng suddenly laughed.

Let me be the strongest landscape in the entire history of Zaitenzhou!

What's so great about being born in power? It's a challenging thing to make a career out of such an idle official position.

Not to mention, how great the hidden power of this official position is underground.

Zi Baifeng played with the big seal in his hand, and then pressed it in the palm of his hand.

The Great Seal slowly sank into Zi Baifeng's palm, when he absorbed the Great Seal before, he had never been so slow, but this was normal, because the area of the entire Zaitianzhou was larger than the area of the Lihe Kingdom, but Zaitianzhou was too barren, and there were only a few places where it was so barren that it was prosperous.

But this is the first time that the porcelain tile has received such a large area of territory, and slow is normal.

At the door, Zi Baifeng closed his eyes and patiently sensed the changes in the porcelain tiles.

His territory is no longer a white spot the size of a pinpoint on the porcelain sile, but a little white spot, at least, he can finally see that there is a concept of "area".

Finally, it has finally come to this point.

But it's still a long way from the whole porcelain piece, so far that it's almost out of reach.

It is too unrealistic to ascend to the sky in one step, step by step, step by step, and one day you will be able to conquer the entire world.

Because standing at the gate, Zi Baifeng's consciousness did not take the initiative to sink into the world of porcelain tiles, Zi Baifeng opened his eyes and looked up at the plaque.

"First of all, this plaque needs to be replaced. He smiled, "Looks like I'm going to ask Daddy to make a plaque." ”

Zi Baifeng returned to the study and told Lord Hua about his plan, and Lord Hua's eyes widened suddenly, and said, "If Lord Zi wants to do this, it is naturally possible, but it is ...... Just ......"

"Just what?" Zi Baifeng was stunned for a moment.

"Zi's Shanshui Institute does not have these office funds, and the Shanshui Institute only has a very small survey fee every year, and it is just hired to maintain these maps every year, and it has already been spent. "Although Lord Hua is also a so-called newcomer, he has been a newcomer for more than a year, and only in a place like Shanshui Courtyard that has been the same for decades, he will be regarded as a newcomer, and he can't even recognize his face. But even so, he knows a lot more than Zi Baifeng, and he knows very well about the various systems and regulations of the Shanshui Academy - in fact, the entire Shanshui Institute is estimated to have only one task, that is, to save the drawings and occasionally turn them out to dry.

The landscape survey in charge of the Shanshui Institute will not receive a survey task even if it is hundreds of years.

"I thought something was wrong. Zi Baifeng didn't care, he patted his chest and said, "I'll just pay for it." ”

"My lord......" Lord Hua reminded him carefully, and said: "Our Shanshui Academy's Yulu is also the lowest, although you are a six-grade official, but Yulu is at most a seven-grade official, as soon as Kochi Prefecture leaves, I don't know what kind of charter Lu Dao is now, a few days ago, there was an official in the dredging department who was forgotten, and he forgot to issue Yulu for twelve years, and starved to death at home. ”

Zi Baifeng glared, what kind of spirit is this Lord Hua, how can this kind of gossip know the Tao? Moreover, how much is their money......

Furthermore, if Zi Baifeng is not mistaken, the silver taels that now maintain the operation of the entire Zaitianfu are actually provided by him, and now he is the one who pays many officials silver, and these people dare to give him so little silver?

Aren't you afraid that he will be angry and cut off the entire silver money of Zaitianfu?

Fortunately, his son Baifeng really doesn't rely on this little money to live, otherwise wouldn't the family want to drink the northwest wind?

"With so little money, how do you live?" Zi Baifeng asked a question.

In fact, no matter how few officials have a lot of money, they are more than ordinary people, but if you want to maintain the basic dignity of officials, I am afraid it is impossible.

"I had a little savings before...... "Lord Hua looked vigilant when he spoke, for fear that Zi Baifeng would use his savings to buy a new plaque, in his opinion, the new official took office with three fires, and this Zi Baifeng was no exception, even if it was a poor place where Shanshui Courtyard didn't even make a sound, he had to burn three fires.

What if the son really wants him to contribute money to make a share? It costs a lot of money to make a plaque, how many meat and bones can this money sell......

"Master Sun still has some money. Seeing Zi Baifeng's eyes flickering, he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, Lord Hua suddenly had a strong sense of crisis, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Sun has money, ask him for it." ”

"Lord Sun is rich?" Zi Baifeng was stunned, and Lord Hua lowered his voice and said, "Lord Zi, don't say that you heard this from me......

Zi Baifeng was speechless, just the two of us here, if I didn't say that I heard it from you, then where did I hear it?

Even so, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, God knows this matter, you know it, I know." ”

"There's no need to be so exaggerated...... Lord Hua pointed to the door and said, "Actually, this small courtyard was originally bigger than it is now, but Lord Sun found a small spot in the world and rented it to the one who sold breakfast to earn extra money." ”

Zi Baifeng has the heart to cry.

That's it, still have to be careful?

That's right, this is indeed a corrupt and self-enriching person, but this is a dignified six-grade official, and he is also a well-known figure in Zaitianfu, and he actually wants to rent out the house to a subsidized family who sells early......

And in this way, he will be denounced by his subordinates and called "very rich".

These subordinates, even if they are poor, have no regrets, just to be able to run one day, but there is no hope for life, day by day more and more wasteful, savoring the ruthlessness of time, the officials of the Shanshui Academy, who are getting old, what kind of life do they have.

Zi Baifeng stood there for a long time, thinking about it for a long time, he really couldn't bear to snatch the money of Lord Sun's pension, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "It's better for me to pay for it myself." ”

"That's good, it's good, it's not easy. Lord Hua immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was so good that his flesh and bones were saved.

Zi Baifeng glared at him, what kind of monster is he so stingy.

Lord Hua was still counting his flesh and bones in his heart, and he didn't care about Zi Baifeng's strange gaze at all.

Zi Baifeng turned around and asked again: "How many servants do we have in the Shanshui Academy? ”

"The servants of the Shanshui Academy?" Hua Dadao, "My lord, our Shanshui Yuan does not have standing servants, only some servants, they were originally our errands, but later the Shanshui Academy really couldn't support them, so they turned them into servants." ”

"Servants?" Zi Baifeng frowned, this kind of thing is actually very common, it is a way to replace taxes with servitude. The most common one is the military registration, once included in the military registration, if the country has a war, it must send a strong man to join the army to fight for the country.

In addition to military registration, there are also post households, which is also a way to replace taxes with military service.

And the servants of Shanshui Temple are similar to these.

The Shanshui Yuan could not afford to pay their salaries, so they reclassified their status to ordinary households, but they did not have to pay some taxes and fees, and when the Shanshui Yuan needed it, they must also serve the Shanshui Yuan free of charge, and once there is a call-up, they must come to serve.

Of course, this kind of service is not unlimited, as long as there is one person out of each household.

"The number of servants in our Shanshui Academy is relatively large. Lord Hua didn't know where Lu Dao found a book, Zi Baifeng glanced at it, the cover of the book was a little unclear, obviously I don't know how many years Lu Dao has been, he flipped through the book, and said: "There are three hundred and twenty-seven households in our Shanshui Academy. ”

"So many?" Zi Baifeng was stunned for a moment, but the number of servants in the Shanshui Courtyard was beyond his expectations.

"Landscape exploration every hundreds of years also requires a lot of people. "Hua Da Dadao," and besides, these years...... The team is getting bigger. ”

Zi Baifeng thought about it carefully and understood the reason.

It is a very sought-after thing to think that the service household is to replace the tax with the service, because the Shanshui Institute only happens once in hundreds of years, but it can pay a lot less taxes and fees on weekdays.

This may be the only hidden benefit of the Shanshui Academy, and these servants are estimated to have been naturalized by the adults of the Shanshui Academy for generations.
